Title: Plasticising cylinder of a plastic injection moulding machine
IPC: B29C45/23
Filed: 1991-11-27
Abstract: The strokes performed in the direction of the injection axis by a valve-actuating cylinder disposed near the rear portion of the plasticizing cylinder are transformed by a motion-deflecting lever into opening and closing movements of the valve needle. The motion-deflecting lever is disposed within the protective skeleton, which surrounds the plasticizing cylinder. The lever is pivoted to the skeleton by a supporting pivot assembly. The valve needle extends rearwardly to a location which is radially aligned with the feed screw when it is in its foremost position. The valve needle extends in a needle-guiding bore, which is formed in the plasticizing cylinder and has a relatively wide rear portion having an open rear end at a location which is radially aligned with the back flow valve when the feed screw is in its foremost position. Owing to that design the assembly by which movement is effected by the valve-actuating cylinder in the direction of the injection axis and transmitted to the valve needle, which is inclined relative to the injection axis, can be manufactured at much lower cost.

Title: Apparatus and methods for remediating materials contaminated with hydrocarbons
IPC: B01D53/72
Filed: 1992-11-03
Abstract: The remediation apparatus includes a pair of heating units, e.g., rotary drum dryers, each having a contaminated material inlet and a burner at opposite ends whereby the contaminated material and hot gases of combustion are in heat exchange, preferably counterflow relation. Material-bearing hydrocarbon contaminants are heated in the first drum to volatilize the low boiling fraction. The soil is conveyed to the second drum and heated to a higher temperature to volatilize the intermediate and high boiling fractions. The volatilized contaminants from the second drum are returned to the burner of the first drum for at least partial oxidation and reduction of the higher fractions to lower fractions. The dust and gases exiting the first drum flow to a baghouse for separation into dust and volatilized contaminants. The dust is returned to the soil. The volatilized contaminants are further eliminated, e.g., by oxidation.

Patent EP-0591069-A3 (EP)
IPC: G03C1/00
Filed: 1993-08-23
Abstract: The present invention describes a method and 
apparatus in which solid gelatin chunks are liquefied, 
tempered, and debubbled in a single operation. The 
debubbling step is accomplished by evacuating and 
sealing off the loaded solid reservoir and heat 
exchanger before initiating the liquefying step. After 
the vacuum is applied, the gelled chunks are pressed 
into the heat exchanger, where heat is applied to the 
gelled chunks of photographic material. This liquefies 
the gelled chunks of photographic material. When the 
liquefied product gives a positive pressure at the heat 
exchanger outlet, the liquefied product is allowed to 
flow from the heat exchanger Liquefying and tempering 
are performed as the solid chunks are pushed through 
the heat exchanger by the reservoir piston.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for speech recognition in which a single
criterion or set of criteria is selected manually by the user, from plural
classes of recognition criteria. The stored classes of recognition criteria
include a default class optimized for an average user in normal conditions,
at least one class having a probability of recognition greater than said
default class, and at least one class having a probability of recognition less
than said default class. Accordingly, the user may select that class of
criteria which provides the best results for him or her, as measured by
greater accuracy (fewer false positive detections) or fewer instances of non-rejection. 
     An utterance is compared to one or more models of speech to
determine a similarity metric for each such comparison. The model of
speech which most closely matches the utterance is determined based on the
one or more similarity metrics. The similarity metric corresponding to the
most closely matching model of speech is analyzed to determine whether
the similarity metric satisfies the criteria of the user-selected class. The
present application has application to many problems in speech recognition
including isolated word recognition and command spotting. Illustrative
embodiments of the invention in the context of telecommunications
instruments are provided.
